Render XML data island to HTML?

[John Smith]

I have an XML data island in my aspx web page. The XML includes a link
(processing instruction) to an XSL stylesheet. Is there any way on this page
to view the HTML, that results from the xsl transformation, as the contents
of, say, a div? I know I can do it if I display only the XML in IE, but I
don't know if I can do it as a fragment of an existing HTML page.

TIA

Yes you can. It will require some Javascript.
I don't have time to hack out a full example for you this morning as I'm off
for my Sat bike ride, but, take a look
at the example code from Chapter 7 of Glasshaus Practical XML For The Web.

In this chapter I demonstrate how to write this sort of stuff in a manner
that will work across both IE and the Netscape derriviatives.

Thanks.....
I describe it in some detail in the book, but basically I make the
NS/Mozilla DOM behave like the IE DOM by extending the object using the slot
based language features of Javascript.
